  2. It's actually well known that Soviet education was excellent and second to none. It's plain hardcore, is the best way to put it. The contrast with American schooling is almost comical.

    I do not think it's the same anymore, but it seems that China has retained the Soviet education standard.

    Russians are smarter & determined than Americans. But they lost because they're atheists.

    he should accept the prize. then he should dress like on the pic above, go on a date with an average, poor russian girl. talk about the mathematics during the whole time...
    then take her hand and propose a drive home. in a new, shiny lamborghini.
    look on her face: priceless :D
